US Native Wild Rice Seeds

Wild Rice is useful to grow because the seed heads can be harvested and used for food. The Wild Rice Seeds that we sell are the wild type that were collected by native americans in Wisconsin for generations. It is usually harvested in October, so our seed is generally available from Fall until we run out of stock in the spring. It is stored wet and cold here, so that all you need to do is plant it in your pond and watch it grow.

Historically, this native wetland plant had great importance to various Native American tribes who highly revered it as a part of their culture; it also provides a crucial food source for ducks and other wildfowl. In recent times, this "caviar of grains" has been commercially produced for culinary purposes. In some regions, the law requires that the harvest be done in the traditional way with canoes and two long sticks. The species name "aquatica" comes from the Latin meaning "of the water."
